Description of assessment task
Students provide a case study research design that responds to the media-related industry context described in the accompanying research brief. Students will initially provide an analysis of three original studies, presenting methods examples that they will draw on in their case study design. Students will then present a research proposal using a case study methodology that responds to the industry-related media context presented in the research brief
Part A: Literature review
(1,500 words)
Select and analyse three relevant scholarly research articles from a journal published from 2012 onwards that propose a methodology relevant to the industry-related media context described in the research brief. Provide a short summary of these three studies and their findings and conclusions, as a collective, somewhat similar to a short literature review. In your analysis, indicate what aspect of each study will contribute to the case study design you propose. Indicate your sources of reference within the body of this summary according to the Harvard system of referencing (Author, year). List the three readings in alphabetical order by first author’s last name in the reference list for the essay at the end. Indicate these three articles in the reference list using asterisks (*).
Part B: Research proposal
(2,500 words)
Propose a case study research design that responds to the media-related industry context presented in the research brief. To do this you will initially need to identify the aspects of the industry-related media context presented in the research brief that you will respond to. You will then need to generate an appropriate research question and highlight the conceptual construct or theoretical frame you will use to guide your case study approach. In your research proposal you will need to include what methods you will draw upon and provide a description of the data collection approach and instruments you would use. Through a discussion of sampling strategies and consideration of the selection of your research participants or data sources, you will need to demonstrate a cultural sensitivity. You will also need to consider the ethical implications and possible limitations of the methodology you are proposing. You will also need to clearly state how the methodology you propose will achieve the project outcomes.
Please note that this assessment task only requires you to plan-out the design stage (not conduct the data collection and reporting) so you are not actually doing this research. Here you are
practicing your research design skills
in preparation fort ACX703. Your research proposal is forpractice purposes only and you will not be doing this research in your masters’ research units later in your course of study.

Please note:
it is very important that this research appropriate and relevant to your final assignment and so you need to focus on current market conditions as related to the market in which Leonard Joel operates.
While this is an individual assignment, the research you do will form a valuable contribution of insight to your group assignment. You should plan your individual research areas strategically with your team members so that you do not research the same areas. This way you can maximise your research area to gain the broadest base of research as a team when deciding what problem or opportunity you want to pursue for your final assignment.
After hearing the challenges in the world of auctions discussed by the CEO of Leonard Joel, the group should meet and divide their research load and each team member select an area of focus. For example, after discussing areas of focus for the team, Rajesh might agree to research online auctions, Maya may agree to research luxury auctions and Jai Ho might focus on innovative new areas of auction. Thus, the group covers a broad area of research by collaborating.
Individually, you will be required to conduct a SWOT analysis of 1500 words based on your research. Your area of focus is the world of auctions, both online and physical, to identify industry strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing this industry sector both in Australia and abroad. You may select an area of focus within this context to perform a targeted SWOT analysis.
A brief introduction of no more than 150 words is required to make it clear what you focus area of research is and a conclusion also of 150 words to sum up your findings.

You are required to write a reflection of your online group work planning session. Please ensure that you incorporate the class content and weekly readings into your reflection, and clearly reference the literature and class content. Your paper will include a reflection on your online discussion with your classmates but should also take into account the way that you would proceed with future group sessions in order to ensure the group functions effectively.

Scenario
A major international business magazine – HBR (Herbert Management Review) – has contracted you to write a
‘profile’ article on either a social enterprise OR a sustainable tourism business OR a special topic. They believe
there are some really interesting organisations or topics that would be of interest to local and overseas readers.
Alternative 1 – note on social enterprises (for further details see Topic 9): Social enterprises are businesses
established by entrepreneurs with an emphasis on human values rather than just profit. They are not charities or
welfare agencies, but seek to achieve social change by having an economically viable business model that
services societal needs while drawing support from the community. Some Australian examples (there are many
also in Malaysia and other countries): the MADCAP Café that employees young people with mental health issues
to make the coffee in stands at Masters Hardware stores; Fifty-six threads café run by AMES – which trains
young refugees and migrants in hospitality skills; Streateats – trains & employs homeless youth; Who gives a
crap – recycled toilet paper; Dress for success – clothes for women in need of support in getting a job; Scarf
hospitality that trains refugees; and Goodcycles – trains and employs disengaged youth in bicycle repairs
